House Memorial 35 requests the formation of a work group to develop a regulatory framework for mobile home parks in New Mexico. The work group will include representatives from various state agencies, including the superintendent of regulation and licensing, the New Mexico mortgage finance authority, and the public regulation commission, among others. The primary focus will be on creating guidelines for mobile home park tenancies, addressing issues such as rent increases, which currently lack regulation, and ensuring fair treatment for residents who own their homes but rent the land.
The work group is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations to legislative committees, with an initial report due by December 1, 2025, and a follow-up report by September 1, 2026. The memorial emphasizes the need for oversight to protect vulnerable residents from costly evictions and unregulated rent increases, highlighting the unique challenges faced by mobile home park tenants in New Mexico.
